Poggio Vistabella stands on a magnificent natural terrace facing the beautiful hills of Umbria and Tuscany, in a unique borderland characterised by a rich culture of good living and good food, close to Lake Trasimeno, Montepulciano and Cortona. This welcoming country house, completely air-conditioned, set within a vast farm estate and built with the bricks that have been produced in this area for centuries, relates a long story of love for the land and its quality produce, like wine and olive oil. The heart of the house is the spacious living area where you can all relax or cook together in the beautiful kitchen, with centre island, that faces out onto the silent garden, a green island ideal for children with seating areas and completed by the beautiful pool in its super panoramic position. Poggio Vistabella is a buen ritiro for those seeking tranquillity in the setting of one of the best-loved country areas in the world, in the "heart" of Etruscan Tuscany and of medieval and Renaissance towns and landscapes, all still prefectly preserved; an excellent starting point for visiting places full of charm like Siena and the Val d'Orcia, Perugia and Assisi. For those seeking total relaxation, the most renowned spa centres of Tuscany are within easy reach: San Casciano dei Bagni, Chianciano, Rapolano and Bagno Vignoni. The proximity to the railway station in Chiusi and the high-speed line will allow you to visit Florence and Rome where you can spend a whole day. Services, restaurants and supermarkets are in Castiglione del Lago, a lively little town just 5 minutes away by car.
